So can't decide if I've got this right or I've going over board have been on mn far too long.
So dp and I getting married next year and I'm sorting out invites and I'm coming to the mine field that is a gift list (yes I know been done to death) so I'm not including anything with invite so people don't feel a pressie is demanded. I am going to give both set of parents a lit should any one ask for one so people dont have to pick something personal if they dont have the time/ideas.
Included on the list (amongst a wide array of priced options) is contributions to honeymoon
fund, but this will e an online bottom draw
type acconuty thing so people don't feel
judged on what they give.
Have I covered all bases so not to offend or upset anyone or am I just overthinking the whole bloody thing?

Sorry to tell you this, but if you have a wedding of any sort, in any location, regardless of who you invite (if anyone) and what food you serve and who sits where and no matter how hard you try to please everyone, someone, somewhere, will be offended and have catbumface over it.

Tis the rule.

It sounds fine to me, by the way!

Sounds good to me, but emsjy is right - someone will always be offended. We asked people not to hand over presents in view of other people. We did it because we have some friends who were very embarrassed about being broke, and some show offs. It's easy to do - just tell them that it's to save the face of people who can't afford anything in this time of economic hardship... blah blah...

All sounds very sensible, I think you're good!

Thanks all!
I know I can't please all the people all the time, but hey I can but try Wink
Whole affair is very informal and easy going and tbh so is every one that's coming so fingers crossed.
